Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens battled in an unsanctioned match at WWE Elimination Chamber.
The bout featured a variety of weapons, including a barbed wire stel chair.
According to Logan Paul, the barbed wire was real.
"I remember so vividly coming into my first WWE session. I was working with The Miz. I'm touching the mat and I'm like, 'This is crazy. Is the bouncy one during the actual match?' He goes, 'No, this is the ring. It's the same ring.' 'Yeah, but on TV, it's bouncy. How are you landing like that?' 'No, dude.' Every celebrity I see come in there to do a match or a spot, the same reaction. They feel the edge of it and are like, 'Bro, this isn't fucking moving.' 'Yeah, been there.' The chairs. They show me the metal chair. 'Okay, where is the fake (one)? Where is the plastic chair?' No plastic fucking chair. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. That match at Elimination Chamber, and the barbed wire around the chair. That was real fucking barbed wire. I felt it beforehand. I saw the chair and was like, 'No way.' Tap, tap, tap. It's sharp. It's insane. Fake is not the word," Logan said on Impaulsive.
Fightful Select reported after WWE Elimination Chamber, "The claim internally in WWE is that the barbed wire in Kevin Owens/Sami Zayn was not gimmicked or shaved down at the request of at least one talent."
Owens was victorious in the unsanctioned match.
